Inkscape's built-in bitmap tracing tool can't be scripted to be run
without user interaction from the command line or a batch-processing
script (there are no verbs available to control the options and to
execute the tracing).
Maybe the (python-based) command line tool shared in this forum topic
could be of help for you:
[SOLVED] How do I replicate Inkscape's bitmap tracer?

Hi Inkscape list,
Is it possible for inkscape, or some other command line utility, to do
batch tracing of bitmap to svg files? I've seen that through Inkscape
verbs you can use "SelectionTrace", but that still requires manual
input.
I've tried potrace, but that only works on black and white images, and
I've tried autotrace but that only produces jigsaw-like svgs and I
want ones where the different colours are stacked on top of each other
Thanks for any help that you can give
Antonio
